        Verdict

        A wide open handicap rounds off the card but the principals look to be Goodbye Mr Bond, Ofaraby, Blue Trojan and Sheriffs deputy and we will take a chance on Goodbye Mr Bond. The three year Eric Alston yard was a good third behind Rocinante last time out off this mark and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Ofaraby rates the main danger he is one of the least exposed in the field and was a good second behind Mi Odds over course and distance last time so he clearly goes well on the surface. Blue Trojan would also be worthy of respect on his best form despite top weight but his best efforts are over a shorter trip so for that reason is opposed on this occasion. Sheriff's Deputy is also worthy of respect but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when he was fourth last time out. Of the remainder Zouche is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with the in form Goodbye Mr Bond.
